- The League of Resident Theatres (LORT) is the largest professional theater association of its kind in the United States, with 75 member theaters located in every major market in the U.S., including 29 states and the District of Columbia. LORT members collectively issue more Equity contracts to actors than Broadway and commercial tours combined. LORT is also a forum for sharing information regarding all aspects. According to the organization's website, their semi-annual meetings provide opportunities for members to study, discuss, and exchange information on such non-labor management issues as development, marketing, public relations, education, and technology, as well as provide a forum for developing professional relationships. LORT is also committed to the continued training of current and future LORT managers. LORT serves as a way for member resident theaters, also called regional theaters, to bargain collectively with Actors' Equity Association, the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society, and United Scenic Artists, as well as other major labor unions in the entertainment industry.
